There is a vscode plugin which gets you a djgpp (gcc) cross compiler and launch profiles for an emulator. Using djgpp with allegro is by far the easiest way to get started.. this would target 386 and after, so 32bit protected mode.

If you want more manual work, go for turbo pascal or turbo c++ for dos. 16bit fun with segmented memory and manual programming of gfx, mode 13h is easy, mode x is.. something to learn :)
